The Boarding Houses and Staff

The Boarding Houses

Ratcliffe College is blessed with a nurturing family ethos, within its vibrant boarding community. Our newly refurbished, modern Boarding rooms and communal areas have added a fresh dimension to our Boarding Houses. Our rooms in the Boys’ and Girls’ Boarding Houses are comfortable, clean, modern spaces which cater specifically for the needs of young people.

Our Boarding Community consists of two houses: a Boys’ House and a Girls’ House. Our Boarding Houses are located in the heart of the School, central to every day school life and facilities.

The Boarding Houses are safe and secure, with fantastic communal and kitchen areas for all students to relax and unwind after the School day. Our central Boarders’ Lounge is a great space to socialise with friends, keep in touch with family and step away from academic life. The lounge includes a pool table, flat-screen television, music station, comfortable seating and well-equipped kitchenette. All our homemade meals are cooked from fresh local ingredients on site and served daily in our historic Refectory. Laundry is free-of-charge on-site and is available daily.

Girls’ Boarding

Mrs Webster is the Housemistress of the girls’ boarding house and she runs the House with the Resident Assistant Housemistresses. Our House is full of laughter, dancing, studying, biscuits, tea, giggling and determination. We believe in striving for success and helping each other achieve our individual goals: when one succeeds we all succeed.

We take pride in pushing ourselves to excel in and out of the classroom and we love nothing more than celebrating what someone has achieved.

Boys’ Boarding

Mr Estevez is the Housemaster / Assistant Head Boarding, and is assisted in the running of the House by two Resident Assistant Housemasters. Essential to any boys’ boarding house is Matron and we have a special one in Mrs Riley, who helps the boys in many different ways, especially keeping them all supplied with goodies after school and at weekends. The House is a hive of activity throughout the day and night, with boys enjoying all the Co-Curricular activities on offer, while others love a chat in the office with a cup of tea and a biscuit.
